I just went on AV's website to realize that her 8oz butters now cost close to $22dollars and her 16oz $36 dollars !!!! I love her butters and hair oils but has she gone mad????? I refuse to pay that much for an 8 oz. I don't care how good her products but that's just insane!

Anyone know of other alternatives to this overpriced line, especially with respect to butters?

Extremely thick, kinky curls/coils that have a mind of thier own!!!!

I suggest Komaza, Shea Moisture, Oyin or Donna Marie. Wow that's so ridiculous. I still have Curl Define, Cocolatte and PUR Whipped Gelly from February...I was considering getting more PWG but DEFINITELY not now! Smh.

I would suggest the Shea Moisture line from Target.

I'm just so mad because AV was one of my staples. Now I have to find alternatives. *sigh*

Even Qhemet hasn't raised their prices. Why AV?

I was ok when she rasied the price to $12...I was willing to continue to purchase at $16 and $18 (but only when on sale and then I would stock up). But at $22 she can kiss my fat black azz. There is nothing in her products that justifies charging that much. And then on top of that I've got to wait 14 days for you to make it and with all the customer service issues that people have been posting about lately.......

I'm soooo disgusted right now. Why do most natural hair product companies try and use the Miss Jessies' model for pricing thier products? Is it because we the consumer continue to pay through all the price increases rather than using our wallets to send a message? UGGGHHH!

I just went looked at the website, and her ingredients haven't changed so I'm curious as to why the sudden dramatic price increase. Shea butter don't cost that much in bulk!

On top of all that, she's discontinued the 32oz sizes. Even though I never purchased her products, I'd like the know the reasoning behind those drastic changes also. That's a good way to lose your faithful customers.

Did she ever get staff!?!?!?! I know last time she increased the prices she said it was because she was getting staff to decrease shipping time and increase customer response...and NOTHING changed.

In fact, last week the "stylers" tab was missing, so I emailed her and asked if she was still making the PWG (was wondering if she just decided to focus on the butters b/c they are the hot items), and never heard anything about that either. What bollocks.

You see that's just outrageous.
I mean when she went from $9 to $12.50 I dropped her because I couldn't take the long turn around and poor customer service and my sis thought I was being harsh but to jump from $12.50 to $22 for whipped shea? I think not
